Background

Reno is a minor antagonist, turned supporting protagonist of the Final Fantasy VII series. As a member of the highly-classified Turks, Reno has been expertly trained. Despite his status, Reno is very light-hearted and fairly unprofessional at times, but his skill is invaluable to the Shinra Power Electric Company.

Reno is commonly paired with fellow Turk, Rude. Together, Reno and Rude are an extremely powerful duo, able to enhance each others skill simply through their teamwork. Although Reno started out as an opposing force to Cloud Strife and his party, their similar goal of saving the planet brought them to the same side.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral (Although Reno acts extremely cocky, he has a strong respect for government and follows the words of Rufus Shinra exactly as directed to him. Even after the fall of Shinra, he stays loyal to it, and tries what he can to bring it back from the ashes. He is a good man and wants people to live freely, but has opposed the heroes in the past when told to do so)

Dimensionality: 3-D

Attack Potency: At least Room level+ (Comparable to standard Summons which are fought as regular training programs in the Shinra Combat Simulator, such as Bahamut, whose Megaflare is this powerful) | Multi Supercluster level (Was able to contend with a Late Game Cloud Strife, who can fight Sephiroth, who can create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. Sephiroth is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Bahamut Fury, who can also create a dimension with a starry sky, and Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster. Later fought Yazoo who is stated to be just as strong as Sephiroth)

Reno is able to carry out prolonged missions and fights without much difficulty, even against people such as Cloud who has extreme power enhancers from his experimentation) | High

Range: Standard Melee, Extended Melee with electro-mag rod, Tens of Meters with Turk Light
